BMR Springs or Hotchkis set? Better ride and G'S.... I wanted to ask all you suspension gurus what setup are people liking more between BMR set or Hotchkis on all four corners. I want a nice ride but no more than one inch drop. I don't want this car to scrap as I am running a sts turbo setup at 12psi. Looking for best of both worlds...Put stock in and car dips too much upon braking etc....

You will scrape even at -1" unless you have a perfectly
tucked exhaust. I had to take the TCI deep trans pan
off, too, because its drain plug was tagging every
speed bump in every parking lot.
I picked Hotchkiss because the initial rate is close to
stock springs. Still, the rear became pretty jarring with
those and Bilsteins swapped at once. I went back to
stock rears and hose mod for a better rake and better
ride. The front was not objectionably changed (SLP
Bilsteins and Hotchkiss).
You might consider the ~ -3/4" SLP Eibachs that were
an OE option for some years / models.
I have no knowledge about the BMR springs' comparative
qualities, to the Hotchkiss. But if I had it to do over I'd
go for the SLP Eibachs and a tiny bit less drop, just to
see.
